Родился в 1800 годув Стамбуле.
Дворцовый архитектор султана Меджида I.

He took over his father Krikor’s place together with his uncle-in-law Mason Ohannes Serveryan, because he was very young and not experienced enough to do the complicated works alone.
He served during the reign of Mahmud II (1808 - 1839), Abdul Mecid (1839 - 1861) and Abdulaziz (1861 - 1876), and constructed numerous buildings in İstanbul.
The most famous and magnificent of his works is Dolmabahçe Palace, he built in collaboration with his son Nigoğayos. Another notable architectural work of him is Beylerbeyi Palace, which was a cooperation with his other son Sarkis.
Garabaet Balyan was also active in the Armenian community for their educational and administrative matters, and carried out research work on Armenian architecture.
His four sons, Nigoğayos, Sarkis, Hagop and Simon succeeded him as he died in 1866.

Balyan Garabet Amira
Until the 17th century, architects serving at the Ottoman Empire were either Muslim or had adopted Islam later in life. Most probably, as the result of the reform movement architects from the minorities gained popularity and among them the western educated Balyan family has a distinct place in architecture of the Ottoman Empire. Members of this Armenian family built various palaces, kiosks and summer palaces for the Sultans, which like Sinan’s are among the most famous Ottoman structures. They have used western architecture technique and designs however have not disregarded the traditional Ottoman-Turkish fundamentals. The most important and largest construction the Balyans have built was Dolmabahçe Palace, which is considered to be one of the finest 19th century palaces in the world. The palace carries major characteristics of western architecture however especially with the Ottoman-Turkish elements it does not exactly fit any western style.
Four generations of architects from the Balyan family served six Ottoman Sultans over the course of 100 years. These imperial architects built prolifically in Istanbul and its environs, marking the landscape with land marking artworks. Most are still in use and registered as historical monuments by The Turkish Republic.
